I need to take down this willow, but I don't feel comfortable felling it as is. The trunk is 40" in diameter. There are four main limbs that split out from the trunk at about 6' from the ground. The canopy is a lot wider than what you can see in this photo.
My saw is 18". I'd have to rent one for the trunk, but my saw should be fine for the rest. The tree can fall anywhere within its reach and will not damage anything.
I would appreciate any advice on taking this down safely. I realize that I could hire someone, but I'd like to do it myself.
